EDIT #2: Figured it out. I removed the 4.11.10-1 kernel and was then able to install the Nvidia driver for the 4.14.2-1 kernel. Everything is working now--a little differently than Manjaro but I suppose that is to be expected given the custom tailoring. Liking this so far and looking forward to the upcoming improvements.--falcon40

EDIT: Although the MHWD dialog box said the changes were made successfully, further inspection of the process using the "Show Details" button revealed the following:

Therefore, it looks like the driver did not install and it is still looking for linux411-nvidia. There is no such package in the repository. I will just wait for an update to come along and see if the driver can be installed in the future. Consider this item "CLOSED."
===================================================================

I have searched for a previous entry with the circumstances I am encountering but have not found one as of yet.

QUESTION: Are the NVIDIA drivers installed but there just are not affirmative indications or did the drivers fail to actually install?

BACKGROUND: I have installed Netrunner Rolling 2017.07 and attempted to install proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers but I am getting conflicting indications. The graphical hardware detection (MHWD) dialog box says the process is complete but "About System" still shows "nouveau". I initially thought it was because I was on kernel 4.11.10-1 (after upgrade) which is unsupported but I still have the same issue after upgrading to the latest LTS kernel 4.14.2-1.

AJSlye--Thank you for the note/clarification. I neglected to search on "kernel", "unsupported kernel" or "EOL." That likely would have saved me some time. All is well now (and it was pretty good before). Thanks again--falcon40
